After the gym festival.

“You look a little tired.”

“Yes, I am.”

Yuzuru and Arisa were in Yuzuru’s apartment room.

On the way from the sports field to Arisa’s house, they passed by Yuzuru’s apartment.

Since it was a good opportunity, why don’t we take a break in the room and then go home? 

Yuzuru asked her.

Arisa accepted the offer without hesitation.

“I’ve only done a little running, but …… it’s somewhat exhausting.”

It’s just a couple of hundred meters at most.

Despite this, Yuzuru was feeling slightly fatigued.

But the reason is known.

It was because he was running a little too hard.

He was so happy that Arisa had waved at him that he had pushed himself beyond his limits.

It is a little embarrassing to admit though.

“Speaking of which, Arisa. You waved at me ….., didn’t you?”

“Ah, yes….. Should I not have done that……?”

“No, I was happy.”

Yuzuru was a little relieved to know that Arisa had waved to him.

If it hadn’t been him that Arisa had waved at.

Or if all of my classmates, including him, were the target.

He would have been a little …… jealous.

(…… This is not good. I’m not even her lover.)

Yuzuru forcefully suppressed his strange possessiveness and jealousy.

“Yuzuru-san also …… cheered me on, didn’t you?”

“Ah, you were really energetic.”

Yuzuru was indeed watching Arisa running closely.

He didn’t wave his hand, though, because he didn’t want Soichiro and the others to make fun of him.

“Well, ……, you must be tired as well. You should get some rest. I’ll make you a cup of coffee.”

“Yes, please.”

Yuzuru went to the kitchen to prepare the coffee.

There was no tea service this time, and Yuzuru was also a little tired, so he added milk and sugar to his own cup.

When he returned to the living room with the coffee, ……

“Hmmm…”

Arisa turned her head in a slightly listless manner.

She was tapping her shoulder with her fist.

“Arisa, I made you some coffee.”

“Ah……., thank you “

After receiving the cup from Yuzuru, Arisa blew on it to cool the coffee, and then pressed the cup to her peachy lips.

After a sip or two of coffee, she placed the cup on the table and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she craned her neck again.

“Arisa.”

“What is it?”

“Are your shoulders stiff?”

“Eh?”

Arisa reacted as if to say, “How do you know?”

Apparently, turning her head and tapping her shoulder were half-unconscious actions.

“Sorry. Was it obvious?”

“Well, yes…….  Are you prone to stiffness?”

When Yuzuru asked, Arisa gave a small nod. 

Then she replied, touching her shoulders.

“I’ve always had stiff shoulders. …… It gets worse, especially after exercise or long hours of studying ……. I wonder if it’s because of my posture?”

“…… Come on, I don’t think your posture is that bad.”

He didn’t dare point it out to her.

The answer was obvious.

Yuzuru’s gaze shifted to Arisa’s bountiful fruits. 

She was wearing a jersey on top, but the front zipper was not closed.

Perhaps it was because she was wearing a thin gym uniform, but her breasts looked bigger than usual.

Wearing such a weight on your chest while exercising will probably make her shoulders stiff.

“If you want, …… I can give you a massage.”

Yuzuru said casually.

After he said it…… he regretted it a little.

(No….. I mean, would she like to be touched on the shoulder by a guy? …..I hope she doesn’t take it weirdly. ……)

He was a little worried that Arisa would pull away from him.

But his fears were unfounded.

“Is it okay”

“Well, if you’re having a hard time…..I might not be good at it though …….”

“…..Then I’ll indulge in your kindness….”

Arisa said and took off the jersey she was wearing.

Then she turned around and turned her small shoulders to Yuzuru.

” …….Excuse me then. Let me know if it hurts or feels weird.”

Yuzuru said and placed his palms on both of Arisa’s shoulders.

You can see that Arisa is very slender when you grab her.

But that doesn’t mean that she has no flesh.

The firm, soft, girlish softness was evident when touching it.

“I’m starting it”

Yuzuru said and dug his thumb into Arisa’s shoulder.

Then there was a stronger resistance than he had expected.

He could feel her muscles stiffening.

“Hmmm… ……”

Arisa let out a vaguely amorous sound.

He could feel Arisa’s softness and warmth in his palm.

And …… a little bit of sweet and sour smell of sweat.

“You can go a little harder than that.”

“Yeah, okay.”

“Ah, ……, that much is fine. …… An~, …….”

He was just massaging her shoulders.

For some reason, Yuzuru began to feel strange.

The white, nape of Arisa’s neck was strangely appealing.

The thought of being able to reach out and touch the soft and tender fat lumps with just a few fingers made his body heat up.

He stretched his gaze from Arisa’s shoulder to a little bit in front of her. ……

I saw Arisa’s pure white, legs.

She is sitting in what is called duck sitting or girl sitting. …… Her pure white legs are stretching out from the length of her gym uniform.

It would be very soft to the touch.

“Ah, ……, Mm……, An~, ……, oh, ……, Ah, …….”

“Ah, Arisa. …… Is there any other place you’d like me to massage besides your shoulder?”

Yuzuru asked Arisa to disguise his thoughts.

Then Arisa replied in a slightly glazed voice.

“That’s right. …… Mmm …… can you do my neck? And also at the base of the shoulder.”

“…… Ah, okay.”

Yuzuru reached for Arisa’s white neck.

Then ……

“Hyah!”

Yuzuru’s heart leaped.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m sorry. I was just ticklish.”

“Oh, I see”

Once again, Yuzuru put his strength into his hands.

He gently and gradually applied pressure to release the stiffness.

And each time he applied pressure, whether it was tickling or feeling good, …… Arisa made a charming sound.

Yuzuru, thinking of his dog, continued to massage Arisa silently, as if he was working. 

He continued to massage her for about fifteen minutes.

“Ah…… It’s all right now”

When Yuzuru let go of his hand, Arisa stretched widely.

Then she turned her shoulders.

And she turned around.

“Thank you very much. My shoulders are lighter now. …… Shall I give you a massage as a thank you?”

He was grateful for the suggestion.

Yuzuru’s shoulders were also a little stiff, though not as much as Arisa’s.

So he wanted to take her up on her offer.

However, Yuzuru was not in a position to do so at the moment.

“I’m …… good. Or rather, I need to use the bathroom.”

“I see. I’m sorry I kept you.”

Fortunately, Arisa did not seem to question Yuzuru as he headed for the bathroom.

Yuzuru went into the bathroom, leaning forward slightly. ……

“Ha~a. ……”

He sighed heavily.

It took him a few minutes to calm down. 

AN:

Current True Dere level: 25%.

We’ve reached the stage where body touching and touching on the shoulder is not a problem at all, in fact, it’s very welcome.

The thought of marrying Yuzuru is starting to flicker in her mind.
